Into baseball? I say yes, but probably only because I lived through the steroids era, and feel like that's a worse sin.

Steroids are not worse than you betting on games you can effect a change upon.

Yes he should be let back in. ONLY for the purposes of HOF. Should still be banned from having a manager or ANY position on a staff.

Personally, I believe he should bet readmitted to the game, but like a poster said, only for HOF consideration. MLB and the HOF use his memorabilia in displays, his likeness on the logo, and still tout him as the best hitter to play. Gambling is about as bad as it gets, but at least let the man into the Hall

Yes he should.

As for suffer for his sins...for the love of God?

Baseball isn't religion and the HOF isn't the Vatican. It is full of cheaters, liars, philanderers, racists, and every form of human faults.

I don't care that Pete Rose is boor, a liar, despicable, not very likeable and seems like an arse...

He belongs in the HOF and baseball based on his performance on the field and that is all that matters. This betting on baseball albatross is such false cross born 100 years ago when we didn't think people should be paid to play sports or drink water during training.

Posthumously only, he doesn't deserve the satisfaction of knowing he got in.

he should be banned for the number of years that he lied about betting on the game, then allowed back in for HOF consideration only
